Microsoft Research gave our data science team a shout-out at their annual conference for a team of AI agents, built on the AutoGen framework, that converse freely to write code and investigate data in Jupyter Notebooks.
Just a quick one to say thanks for the shout out from Microsoft Research at their recent annual conference. The mention was for our data science team based on the Microsoft AutoGen framework. Its a team of AI agents who co-operate in a free conversation to write code, investigating data and algorithms to reach an objective. All within Jupyter Notebooks, every data scientist's favourite tool.
The presentation is from Chi Wang, the leader of the AutoGen project, see the entire 5min video here:
Gartner says a third of enterprise software purchases will involve an AI agent by 2028, and machines are assumed immune to persuasion. We ran 8,000 trials across five frontier models. Which techniques work, which backfire, and what does that mean for selling to agents?
The gap between top models has collapsed to 5%, and GPT-3.5-level inference cost fell 280-fold in under two years. If AI is now a commodity, competitors can buy the same agent tomorrow. So where does durable advantage live, and why can't it be bought?
Berkeley's second Agentic AI Summit drew Google, OpenAI, NVIDIA, IBM and frontier researchers for talks on where agents are heading, from Chi Wang's MassGen to the Linux Foundation's 'Internet of Agents'. So what does the near future of agentic AI actually hold for enterprises?
